Bringing DH to dentist today. He wants his dentures looked at. Idk why because he won’t wear them, but to keep the peace, I made him an appointment. He has FOMO about everything! Lol. Only mentions the dentist when I go for my checkups. I have most of my teeth- he has none.

My parents both had dentures. They were diligent during my childhood to keep my teeth as healthy as possible. I thank them for good tooth-care for me.0

Well, I found my old knee brace. The good news is that it helps with the stairs. The bad news is that my leg is larger now, so that thing is tight! I have really got to lose some weight!

These are some of the flowers we got to see at Como Conservatory. It was lovely.
Helps on this snowy windy day. Brings some spring into the indoors.6 -
Had a blow up with DH this evening. He said something totally unnecessary about an innocent comment. I freaked out. My reaction was extreme, but his comment really triggered me.
I have apologised, but he is still innocent in his mind. I HATE it when this happens, but his comment was uncalled for.
I think I was still tense from the Zoom with my girlfriends. It always causes me to have a drink. Not good.
I must be feeling stressed about something. I think it might be his handling of his aunt's death. He is not doing what I would do. I guess it's up to him. He is a grown up. I feel bad if my DSIL thinks I am not up to scratch.
It's all part of him being less involved with others as he ages. Family, for him, is a complicated thing.
Breathe.

Kim- many have given you very good advice- I would also be leary of Tim- we dealt with that and sadly are still dealing with that since BIL passed away. (car accident). His "friends" all showed up to support his mom. We had never even heard these friends' names mentioned before Albert died. They (especially one) kissed up to MIL and continues to- always with her hand out. She comes over to take MIL out shopping which sounds great, BUT, she never pays for anything, MIL does. That is partially her fault. She started paying for everything in the beginning so Sophia saw this and still does this. This has been going on now for 10 yrs! Not as much as in the beginning but still happens. MIL complains about Sophia but never tells her no, don't come or what ever.
Albert was also abusive-not to the degree of your brother. My DH and him never got along. MIL always had her favorite son. She loved Albert's dad and Dh's dad was a ticket to USA and someone to support her and her 2 yr old son. Never loved him or showed any love to him.
She actually looked my husband in the eyes the day after Albert died and said "wrong son died, huh!!" Also found out she had taken dh out of her will and was leaving everything to Albert, even though dh's dad had paid for everything,(house, etc).
Albert was also a big liar. Even when there was no need to.
He told everyone that he was living at home to take care of his mom, when actually, she was still doing everything for him, including cooking all meals, packing his lunch(he was 50 when he died), doing his laundry, buying his clothes and he didn't help pay for anything. He had a good job. found out he was giving money to friends, bought one lady a car, flashing money all over, etc. He also told everyone that dh did nothing for his mom(he was the one that always took mom shopping and continues to almost daily).
have to go run errands-will catch up on reading when I get back.

@dlfk202000 There are times when I truly believe in karma and retribution. Especially when I hear stories like that. What a b*tch. I'm surprised y'all havent gone no contact with her...1

Rori--Sounds like you are staying busy and the concerts sure are a variety.
Betsy--Baby Steps. You are doing so well and it comes and goes. Hugs I am glad to know that I am not the only one that did not realize at first you have to engage the blades on a riding mower. I thought turning it on and driving was all it took.
Heather--Sorry to hear about your blow up. It must be something going around as I have done that the last couple days. Little things set me off and I am full blown pissed. Hope things are settled down and back to normal.I do find that anymore if someone does not do what I think they should the way I think they should I am mad. But working on it. The world does not think the way I do and I remember when I was about 12-13 realizing that not everyone lived the same and had the same family relentionships I had, what a shock.
It is so sad when a parent will favor one child over another, and most the time it is the one that acted out the most. When my mom died we found out my sister had gotten the will changed and she got everything and caused a lot of hard feelings to this day. I try and treat all the kids the same, which is not always easy as I have one son and DH had 6 with 3 different mom's. The oldest did come live with us shortly after we got married so I helped raise him, he passed away at age 25.

Afternoon ladies
Well im home and relaxing,Alfie and i..we will be having thunderstorms come through later on...
Went to lunch with Trudy and got fish and chips,though i got a baked potato.. this is a seafood place and agood one at that.. i emailed them after we got home.
There were maybe 4 or 5 other couples in a huge restaurant which is unusual..for a thursday. It took us forever to get waited on even though there was enough waitresses on..
The fish.. honestly i have gotten better fish in the grocery store.. super thin and hardly any fish and panko breading.. and no taste. And Trudys french fries were cold,my baked potato under done..
I dont usually complain about meals .but this was a doozy from a reputable restaurant..
Oh well..
So Im watching Miles tomorrow even though Kyle has the day off because of Good Friday..she said he cant handle it when the baby crys.. well its his child... suck it up buttercup.. .so I guess 6 flags opens tomorrow and Kyle and Carmine will leave around 10 to go there..
But gee. Not watch your own child.? Thats harsh..3 -

Tried a tin of tuna, with corn, beans along with an individual serving of wild rice. I had some mushrooms looking kind of sad, so I put them in some pickle juice. Had those with some pickled cucumbers, beets and olives. Yummy!

Hugs ladies!

Worked and then went to the gym and used the stairclimber. Then went to the Salvation Army and WalMart then bought gas. When I got home Vince had taken the cover off the spa and cleaned it. Then we took one of the covers to the pool off and cleaned it. Unfortunately, it started to rain. I think we’re just going to have to roll it up and then unroll it tomorrow to dry it out. But at least it’s started. The soup kitchen is closed tomorrow. I understand, the workers want time off. But on the other hand I feel for the people who really need food. They need to eat even on Good Friday. But not my call
Made chocolate rice krispie bars for Vince for later in the week. First he needs to finish the pie I made him. I’d like room in the refrigerator
Tracey – congrats to your brother!
Rori – I tried pickleball down at the condo. However, I can’t seem to find the time to play. It was fun, tho. Sounds like you are really living life. I’m so very happy for you
M – what Vince hates about updates is that there is no user trial. They just roll out the updates and when a problem arises, they roll out another update to fix that problem. You would think they’d try out a program BEFORE rolling it out and work out all the bugs. But NOOOOOO
Carol GA – pickleball is a combination of bad mitten and tennis. It’s quite low impact, and great for those 55 and over. You don’t run around as much as in tennis.
Katla – why did your husband have to go to the hospital? Glad he’s home
Regarding teeth: Jess is 38 and she has never had a cavity. The dentist told us the reason is because when she was little, I gave her a fluoride supplement. So when her teeth were formed, the fluoride was formed IN the teeth, not on the surface
Allie – why couldn’t Kyle take Miles with him?
Going to work on the puzzle a bit, then take a shower, then maybe work on the puzzle a bit more.

He takes care of everything for her out of obligation and nothing more. There is no one else around. She only has one brother who is in a care home in Okinawa(and doesn't want any contact with her). Her other brother and sister in law have both passed away in Osaka.
It is hard because he does all these things for his mom on a daily basis just about then comes home and complains to me about it- He has never told her NO- the more time he spends over there, the more she expects. He knows I don't like going over there so he will pull this *kitten*- we are out shopping and oh, by the way, while we are out, I need to stop at mom's and drop stuff off. I called him on it and he was better for a week but now he says, or I can go drop you off at the house before going over there, even though it is out of the way and we will only stay a minute-trying to guilt trip me. Some days I say, fine, other days I tell him, take me home first. Some days I am just not in the mood to deal with both of them. They are both very self-centered.
She is smoking more and more(and wonders why she isn't feeling good) plus eating stuff she shouldn't(being diabetic). She is smoking at least 4 cartons(10packs each) a month. How can someone smoke 10 packs in 7 days. She is 84. It will catch up to her- just don't know when.3 -

Seriously, hun, you're really not helping Kyle (or Tracey) any by always being there for Miles. I know that you want to be, but they are husband and wife, they have to learn to work this out. Where are his parents? I would absolutely love it if I could even facetime with PJ. That's not to say that you should never be there, just not all the time. Let them work things out. Maybe his parents could come for a few days?
Why should he learn to accept the baby crying when he has you to fall back on?
One time Jess said something about how they love to travel, and Colby just said "you know that your mother wouldn't have any problem watching the child". Does he know me or does he know me?
Love you girl. Please don't take this the wrong way.

Michelle- i understand my friend... she is nursing him,he wont take a bottle and Carmine and Kyle will be going to an amusement park...
I am the only grandparent basically in the picture.. his mother in a nut job... they see very rarely.. and his dad is very ill and living in South Carolina with his second wife.
I am watching Miles 3 days a week for 5 hrs .. the money basically is for groceries and car payment.. Kyle pays the rest.. they feel much more comfortable having him with a family member rather than day care .and all the money she would make would go to that..
I cant do alot but I can help in that way,im sure once Miles is older it wont be as bad.. but its still a sad situation .. Tracy tries to keep everything on an even keel.1 -
DH was transported to the hospital by paramedics from our fire department because of low blood sugar and a need for glucose. His blood-sugar was very low and potentially dangerous. He also had a serious urinary blockage. We were very happy to bring him home later in the night. He is okay for now but needs a follow up with his doctor.9

Families ARE complicated and I understand the desire to be less involved with others. "Others" can be stressful. There's a relief in stepping back and leaving "others" to deal with their own lives.

thinking of you all.... getting some needed sleep.
Heather - hang in there and remember how much better life is with your DH than it would be without him, then pick which battles are worth fussing over.. sometimes it is ok to not care who is right but just be ok with it.

World Art Day – April 15, 2022
https://happydays365.org/important-days-in-april/world-art-day-april-15/
"World Art Day comes on April 15 of every year. World Art Day is celebrated to promote awareness about creative activity worldwide. Art is a broad range of human activities in creating the visual, auditory, or performing the artifacts, expressing their creative or technical skill, which are intended to be appreciated for their beauty and emotional power. Art comes in various forms, but the main categories (first founded in ancient Greece) were Painting, Architecture, Music, Sculpting, Dance, and Literature. In 1911 Cinema, was added as a seventh art by Ricciotto Canudo."
I have been listening to music and colouring.
And you?

Thanks Rita. I have now gotten a reply to my latest report. They’re asking for lots of details which I will send when I get the time. In the meantime I am having to reinstall it ever time I want to use it. I can work with that for now.0 -

Allie, I know Tracey is your daughter, and all, but REALLY? Expecting you to look after a growing baby while they swan off! Not cool! They are taking advantage! You need time to rest.3 -
Katla: (((hugs)))1

Katla our thoughts are with you and DH as you recover from another strenuous night. Take care of yourself! Hope you can get some rest before the appointment.
